A child has fallen off a ride and suffered head injuries at Movie World on the Gold Coast. 

The boy was rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital where he is said to be in a stable condition.  

In a statement, owner Village Roadshow said: ‘An ambulance was called to Movie World to attend to a guest following an incident on the carousel ride.

‘The guest received a laceration to his head and was attended to by Movie World’s nurse before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

‘Our thoughts are with the guest and his family and we wish him a speedy recovery.’ 

It added that: ‘We pride ourselves on our standards of care and quality and an investigation is being conducted as a matter of priority into the exact cause of the incident.

‘In an abundance of caution the ride has been closed while we understand how the incident occurred.

‘The safety and wellbeing of guests and team members is our top priority at Village Roadshow Theme Parks and we are committed to providing guests with a fun and safe environment.’ 

The incident comes more than five years after four people were crushed to death on the Thunder River Rapids Ride at nearby Dreamworld, which is operated by a separate company.
